The victim was waiting for his wife to get off the train when he went into the bathroom, followed by a man police say was Woods. The man's throat was slashed from behind and stabbed a second time during the struggle. The suspect took his wallet and keys and escaped from the station in the victim's Honda Accord.

The suspect went to a Lansing Walmart after the attack and bought Lady Gaga CDs with the victim's credit card, police say.
